Looking at buying my first Fountain
 
I currently have a 312 formula fastech and im ready to upgrade. I'm looking at a 02 38' lightning w 575's sc. It has 150 hrs, fresh water only and looks in excellent shape. have not seen it in person yet but i plan to in a week or so. claims it will run in the low 90's. Any pros or cons to this boat that I should look out for? any opionons would be greatly appreciated. What price is reasonable for this boat? thanks!

A friend had the exact same package 38 w/ 575's , his ran in the low 90+ range. He is always very positive on both the boat and the engines. I have a 35 now and have been starting to look into the 38 as well. Everything I am seeing would lead you believe it is one he!! of a hull. I am a huge fan of Reggie's boats, have owned lots of others, the last being a Velocity, which dosen't even begin to compare. Good Luck.

If the 02 38 your talking about is at shogren's, I've seen the boat. It was in excellent shape and very clean. I would consider it but I'm looking for a 35 lightning w/500's. Good luck!

What year are you looking for? I've got a 35 with 500's that I might part with.

Great boat and great engine package. Easy low-mid 90's all day long.
